It is said that much complaint is made by
travelers to Portland being deceived by the

hotels irake it a business to transfer the bag
gage of their guests free of charge. And

travelers in order to get their baggage check
that their transfer of the baggage will not
cost the traveler any thing and when he ar
rives at his hotel he finds a bill already paid
on his baggage which he has to replace.
An Earnest and Effective Argument.
Unfortunately the rumbling war like
sonnds of the battle field during the last
week fell upon our ears. Th ravage of
- !iq in vailed th salted precincts of ear
, t ' Tt w on IS Tuesday
beautiful cJ , v
when the unfortunaJ conflict beg-'
moist condition of the atmosphere during
the winter just passing made it necessary
for the unfortunate individuali under con
sideration to carry the usual protective
against damp. One of the parties engaged
for the conflict had nnfortunately lost that
valuable treasure, He met his victim on
the street and straightway accused him of
having purposely carried away his umbrella
at an unfavorable time and for his own use.
The one accused straight forward without
further ceremony went spat and it came
right between his opponents eyes, and at it
they went. An eager crowd soon gathered
around when they found that Mose Neugass
and Reube Kiger ware earnestly engaged in
ariruinz a Question upon which they could
not agree. Each received slight abrasions
of the skin about the face, and the city re
corder got the regular fees besides the hsu
al sum to replenish the city treasury.
Another man Killed.
Mr. George Circles, recently arrived from
Beaver creek, informed us that a man nam
ed Miles, who was herding horses near
Snow mountain in'that section, was found
dead with a bullet hole in his breast Rob
bery is supposed to have been the motive of
the murder. r-ZVinwWs ycs.
The Pile Driver.
Among other of the many enterprises in
Benton county worthy of note, is the steam
pile driver owned by John Wm. Moore, of
Corvallis, which does its work in a credita
ble manner. Mr. Moore has his driver so
arranged and adjusted that he can drive
piling either on land or water, bavin? erect
ed for that purpose a scow lexoO feet on
which the machinery is placed and floated
to any desirable spot in the stream. - Work
is done substantial and expeditious by a
massive 1G00 pound hammer which is hoist
ed fifty-five feet to the top of the "jims" by
a twelve horse power traction engine, and
dropped with a tremendious "thud" on the
head of the pile which is forced to yield to
the heavy stroke. Mr. M. estimates the
driving capacity at about twenty piling per
lay and is now busily engaged fulfilling the
contract of driving several hundred piling in
the Willamette river, near the saw mill, tor
Max Friendly, where he employs six men
to assist him in the work. The driver is
not only a substantial but a crediatble en
terprise, and to those who need any such
work done, we would say, that thU is
worthy of patronage and that satisfaction
will be given iu every instance.
Coal From the Aiken Mine.
Last week James Aiken had on exhibition
at the Coos Bay drug store a quantity of
coal from his mine on the south fork of the
Coquille river. The coal looks well and
experts who examined and tested it pro -nounces
it much superior in quality to any
thing of the kind at present being mined in
this country. It cokes well and blacksmiths
who tried it say it is fully up to the require
ments of their business and a big improve
ment on much of the imported coal which
they buy at an extra vagaut price.
The vein is located near the summit of the
Coast range, aud shows from five to six feet
of coal, but it is in five distinct layers, sep
arated bv small seams of clay. Coos Bay

Railroad Inspection.
The commissioners appointed by the gov
ernment to inspect the last completed 25
miles of the Northwest Pacific railroad, re
turned to Portland last week, from their

A. C. Gibbs of this city, These gentlemen,
went from Portland, a distance of 550 miles,
and examined the last 25 miles, which they
report as the best new road they have ever
seen.
New Tacama Improvements.
The Tacoma Ledger says: A late issue
of the Oregonian credits the sales of real
estate by the Tacoma Land Company at 350
for 1882. For fear that the public may con
strue this number as the total made in the
city for the past year, it may be mentioned
that a single firm has also sold 150 lots, 110
of which were in 1882. These were trans
ferred to 73 purchasers, upon which 41
dwellings have been built, with ten more
contracted to be built within six months.
Other firms in New Tacomt have sold large
quantities of real estate, consisting princip
ally of lots in this city, on wbicb residents
and business houses have beeu built.

New Tacoma Arrivals.
Not less than two hundred persons, con
sisting principally of business men, many of
whom are interested in Tacoma real estate
and others who wish to be, arrived in the
city during the past week. Some of these
pebple came from down the sound, others
from Portland, and others ftom distant
points. A large proportion ol tne number
will be identifi jd permently with the city.
Within the past month a very noticeable
and increased interest has been taken in
real estate. The interest comprises, in ad
dition to city property, bath timber and ag
ricultural lands adjacent.
Burglars at Salem.
Sunday night Mrs. Monroe s house, so we
were informed, was entered by buglars. On
Monday or Tuesday night M. L. Mucker's
house was burglarized, and on Wednesday
niht J. W. Greenwood's house was entered
while the family was in attendance at Uncle
Tom's Cabin. Also Rev. Dr. N is bet's resi
dence was broken into, and the house pret
ty well ransacked, when the family was at
church. Statesman.
Child Burned,
A daughter of W. H. Simmons, aged
about niue years, who lives ten miles south
of Salem, was very badly burned last week.
It seems that the child was standing on the
hearth near the fire, when her clothing
caught, and before they codld be extinguish
ed she was very badly burned, so much so
that there are very great doubts of the
child's recovery.

chance to get a valuable book.
Yakima. w. T,
,j- v.'iv oir: .as tnia is
Christmas times perhaps you would hhe to
know how the people of this upper country
wj.vj uirinat.! i, ana as i was
a looker on maby I can manage to tell some
things that would be of interest to vour
readers. Saturday before Christmas the
day was spent in, shoorinf for turkeys and
also oigeous. The distance for the turkeys
was 40 yds. off Land and f?0 with rest. The
Cow Boy took aim shot and walked off with
alarge gol2?.r; aSd f nothing happens I
will help to pick his bones on KoV Years
day. There was a large crowd in the city
and a heap of whiskey drank but not a row
of any kind during the day.
Sunday I listened to a good sermon
preached by a Methodist preacher and 1
must say by far the best discourse 1 ever
heard in this uppej countiy. Monday open
ed out a little cloudy but soon cleared off
and the day was the finest Christmas day I
ever seen. All the day they were arranging
for the Christmas tree and when the doors
were opened the crowd gathered fast and
the hall was crowded full. The tree was
full of valuable presents and there was
many little hearts made happy. After all
was over the hall was cleared out and the
dance commenced. There was not as .many
there as would have beeu on account of
another dance within two miles of town,
although I understand there was 62 num
bers sold and G3 at the dance near town.
Ho you see our people all dance and but
few go to church. Thursday morning the
28, we woke up and found about two in
ches of snow covering oui beautiful valley
for the first time this winter. To-day it is
quite cool witii a north wind most all the
time. Clear in all directions excepting to
wards webfoot; from the looks of the black
clouds that come over the Cascades J
should say rain day and night down there.
Up to this storm our roads were dry and
nice.
There was a grand rush made in Moxee-
valley a few days ago for land. I under
stand there was eleven sections taken and
there is a company with seventy-five thous
and dollars going to bring a large ditch out
to irrigate the land. This land is on Fthe
survey of the railroad. Land in that HeV
is bringing a good price and a great, deal has
changed hands. The talk is that there will
be a town in that locality and the people of
Yakima City are somewhat uneasy as it is
on the opposite side of the river, and they
fear it will take the business from their
town. When I hear the whistle of the
locomotive then I will begin to think i
will have a railroad and not until then.
Yours Truly,
Cow Boy.

Editor of Times: The veterinary depart

illusion in using it now in his practice for
several human ailments on account of the
success he has always had with it. The

Early last summer Messrs. B. J. Kendall & Co., of
Enosburgh Falls, Vt., made a contract with -the pub
lishers of the Press for a half column -advertisement
for one year setting forth the merits Of Kendall'
Spavin Cure. At jjne same tftue we secured from the
firm a quantity of books.' entitled Dr. Kendall'si
Treatise on the horse and his Diseases, which we ar
giving to advance paying subscribers 13 the -Press as
a premium.
About the time the advertisement first appeared
in this paper Mr. P. G. Schermerhorn, who rcidea
near Colliers had a spavined horse. He read the ad
vertisement and concluded to test the efficacy of the
remedy, although his friends laughed at his cred
ulity. He bought a bottle of Kendall's Spavin Cur
and commenced using it on the horse in accordance
wii'h the directions, and he informed us th s week
that it effected sucl; 4 complete cure that an expert
horseman, whq examined the animal recently coiK
find no trace of the spavin or the place where it had
been located. Mr. Scherinerhorn has since secured a
copy of Kendall's Treatise on the Horse and his Dis
eases, which he prizes very highly and would ba
loth to part with at any price, provided he kt4ld
not obtain auother copy. So much for advertising
reliable articles.
READ PROOF OF WONDERFUL CURES.
Fremont, Ohio, Jan. 25th.
Dr. B. J. KrNDii.L & Co., Gents : I think it my
duty to render you my thanks for benefits and profits
which I have derived from your invaluable, and far
famed Spavin Cure. My cousin and I had a valuable
stallion, worth $4030 which had a very bad spaviu
and was pronounced by fpur eminent veterinary
sutgeons, beyond any cure, and that the horse was
done for ever. As a last resort I advised my cousin
to try a bqttle of KeudaH's Spavin Cure. It bad a
magical effeot, the third bottle oured it and the;
horse is as well as ever. Dr. Dick of Edinburgh, tho
eminent veterinary surgeon was an uncle p! mine,
at J 1 take great interest in assisting his profession!
Yours truly.
